THE TRIALS OF A CIRCUIT BENDER
2005-02-04 10:34:22 ET

MAN.
Where to start....

My world of circuit bending is a bitter one this morning.

1st off...
While going thru my feedbacks on ebay i come across this:
a positive feedback:
+ awesome instrument. professional grade craftsmanship
Buyer dadoherty ( 28) Dec-12-04 20:42 3756043097
With a Follow-up:
Follow-up by dadoherty: i take it back. amateur at best. used bad wire. had to resolder cause he cant. Jan-12-05 13:17

FUCKING RIDICULOUS!
If you look at said auction, it states:
"These units come with an instruction guide and 1yr. warranty(parts & labor)"
-I am more than capable admitting fault and fixing mistakes or repairing items...The motherfucker even said "awesome instrument?!"
I have since emailed him and tore him a new one for being a snarky cunt and trying t cut me down on the feedback. I also stated: "if he thinks he God's gift to a soldering station" why the fuck didn't you build one yerself and save $60. or so dollars and my wraith?!?!?
-asshole.

THEN~
After listing an item today:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=3780762871&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

I get this email from this well-respected bender(i won't say who) bitching cuz i used the term: "BENTSTRUMENT"
-He "claims" he has this term Copywritted?
***BULLSHIT***
I checked the UNITED STATES PATENT & TRADEMARK OFFICE
http://www.uspto.gov/
and called them as well...
ha! nothing!
Not only that, but who the hell would give a patent on a patent for toys that have been deface and ALREADY HAVE patents and/or copywrights?
I am NOT gonna mention this bender's name -YET.
Because i do have respect for him and his instruments...um excuse me: "BENTSRUMENTS"
But don't fucking try to bullshit me.
I'll see thru it.

-back to soldering....

2005-02-04 21:50:57 ET

Hit Stix?...mwhahahhaaha!
-Oh the sickness!!!!
